Verdant Kitchen: Life, Wood, Stone

Kitchen • Weller Street, Southwark, London, UK
The entire brick wall becomes a vertical living garden. This system asserts active life in the room. Existing upper cabinets are replaced with open, reclaimed oak shelves. They showcase raw wood texture. Honed soapstone countertops ground the space. A sculptural ceiling fixture mimics organic forms. It provides full-spectrum light for plants. Cabinet edges soften, and carved wood pulls add organic shapes.
